A large crowd has gathered in front of the Rivers state
government house in Port Harcourt to welcome back Siminalayi Fubara as governor
of the state.
On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu lifted the six-month
emergency rule imposed on the state in the wake of a protracted political
crisis.
In his statement, the president asked Fubara, the suspended
governor, to resume work on Thursday, September 18.
He also asked Ngozi Nma Odu, the deputy governor, and
members of the Rivers state house of assembly to resume their duties.
The crowd began converging outside the Rivers government
house, located off Azikiwe Road, as early as 8am.
Ibok-Ete Ibas, who was sole administrator of the state
during the emergency rule, vacated government house shortly before the
president’s announcement.
